How to Add Lights to a 3D Scene in Photoshop

Within Photoshop you can add either Infinite, Spot or Point lights. Infinite lights are similar to the way that the sun illuminates the outdoors. The rays travel in a straight line and create shadows with similar characteristics.

Spot lights illuminate in one direction in a cone pattern. Point lights radiate in all directions from a single point. A Point light is similar to an uncovered light bulb in the middle of the room.
